January 22, 2008. its my second duty in perez this finals. and i must say its been great. toxic pasyente ko pero hindi ko naramdaman dahil magaling ang CI ko...(sana mabasa ni mam.hehe) i dont usually talk and give therapeutic touch to patients because its a bit artificial. peo this time, i can tell she needed it.
she is soft and very endearing woman. she is recently comatosed and last night her body is cyanotic. the doctor was also shocked about what happened last night, and told the relatives "tawag na kau sa taas". the doctor instructed me do not let any visitors come that can change her emotions. strict bed rest and rest and sleep is a must. multiple drugs administered (almost 18) and Intravenous infusions.
i stayed on her... checking her vital signs every 30 mins and smiled at her the whole day. she said that when her vital signs is not stable, she feels chest tightness... "ok po. pls po wag po kau mag alala kasi makakasama po sainyo yan. tulungan nyo po ang sarili ninyong gumaling... magpahinga nalang po kau nay". she is a bit disoriented, wakes up asking us the same questions that we already answered.
its sad that my duty in perez ended. "nay salamat po. magpagaling po kau at balitaan nyo po ako sa inyong kalagayan" she smiled at me and hold my hands so tight and gives me her thanks.
in many nurses today they can say my experience with the patient is nothing compared to theirs but its my first therapeutic talk and im glad i no longer see it artificial... its all about them. they are our job and there nuisance is our priorty. we save lives and we touch them. its not about academics... its about life.
